Best report option for Doc visit
I am starting up with a new doctor to manage my apnea treatment and want to show him my OSCR history. Is there a "best" option to generate such a report that summarizes months of data? I don't want to walk in with a 67 page PDF file. Suggestions to help him get up to speed on my history?

If you are using a ResMed device, call your doctor’s office and inquire if they use ResScan or AirView software. If the answer is yes, ask them if you can bring in your SD card with the data. Then the doctor, sleep technician, or respiratory therapist can view what they believe is important in a manner that highlights the necessary data.

Why are you seeing a new doctor?
Have there been changes or trends in your therapy you want to discuss? Are there any problems or areas where you want your therapy to improve your well-being? p Are you satisfied with your therapy and want to continue on the same path? What are your expectations for your new physician relationship? The only reports (if any) a doctor needs is the most recent or characteristic daily details and your Summary report that can serve as a discussion point. As you properly point out, the doctor will not look at an extensive report. He wants to know the effectiveness of your treatment, your current settings, your current usage and how you feel. Everything else is a waste of both your time. Discuss the issues in an organized manner and leave the reports behind.

I just give my doctor the first pages of the Statistics report, set to show the 12-month report mode. That contains all the data needed to show compliance, which is what insurance companies need.
If you are lucky enough to have a doctor who cares about details and you want to discuss them with him, you might include a sample daily report or whatever report that shows what you want to discuss.
